GitHub Changelog

GitHub's secret scanning feature now includes validity checks for MongoDB, Meta, and Microsoft Azure credentials. The update adds support for six new secret types including Azure personal access tokens, API management keys, Maps keys, Entra ID tokens, Facebook encrypted sessions, and MongoDB Atlas database URIs. Validity checks help determine if leaked credentials are still active and exploitable, automatically verifying supported token types in repositories where the feature is enabled.
